Contents of the pack and other information

1. What Spiraxin is and what it is used for

Spiraxin belongs to a group of medicines called intestinal anti-infectives, antibiotics.

Informative text about the correct use of antibiotics and their proper elimination after treatment

Spiraxin is indicated in:

Bacterial enterocolitis resistant to symptomatic treatment in patients at risk due to associated pathology, immunodepression, or advanced age.
Pseudomembranous colitis in patients resistant to vancomycin.
Acute diverticulitis.
Pre- and post-operative prophylaxis in gastrointestinal tract surgery.
Adjuvant therapy in hyperammonemia (excessive increase in blood ammonia concentration).

2. What you need to know before you take Spiraxin

Do not take Spiraxin:

If you are allergic to the active substance, rifamycin derivatives, or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).
If you have intestinal obstruction.
If you have severe intestinal ulcerative lesions.
If you have complicated diarrhea with fever or blood in the stool.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Spiraxin.
If you have ever developed a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blisters, and/or sores in the mouth after taking rifaximin.
During prolonged treatments at high doses, or in cases of intestinal injury, a slight absorption of the product may occur, and when eliminated, it may cause a reddish coloration of the urine, which is of no significant relevance.
Rifaximin should be withdrawn if symptoms of diarrhea persist or worsen after 48 hours.
As with the use of most antibiotics, during treatment with rifaximin, cases of diarrhea associated with Clostridioidesdifficile(CDAD) have been reported; therefore, the potential association of rifaximin treatment with CDAD or pseudomembranous colitis cannot be ruled out.

Be particularly careful with rifaximin:

Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, have been reported in association with rifaximin treatment. Most cases were reported in patients with liver disease (such as cirrhosis or hepatitis). Stop using rifaximin and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.

Children

The safety and efficacy of rifaximin have not been established in children under 12 years of age.

Taking Spiraxin with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or might use any other medicines.

In case of activated charcoal administration, Spiraxin should be taken at least 2 hours after that administration.
In case of liver failure, caution should be exercised when taking:
- Warfarin (a medicine to prevent blood clotting)
- Antiepileptics (medicines to treat epilepsy)
- Antiarrhythmics (medicines to treat abnormal heart rhythm)
- Cyclosporin (an immunosuppressant)
- Oral contraceptives

Taking Spiraxin with food

Spiraxin can be administered with or without food.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

It is not known whether rifaximin can harm the fetus. Therefore, Spiraxin should not be used during pregnancy.

It is recommended to take additional contraceptive precautions if you are taking Spiraxin with oral contraceptives (see "Taking Spiraxin with other medicines"),

It is not known whether rifaximin is excreted in breast milk. Therefore, Spiraxin should not be used during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Spiraxin has a negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines, although some cases of dizziness or drowsiness have been reported.

Spiraxin contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet; this is essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to take Spiraxin

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medicine indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Spiraxin is administered orally with a glass of water.

The recommended dose is 200 mg (1 tablet) every 6 hours, until symptoms subside. This dose may be increased to 400 mg in adults every 8 hours, in those cases that, due to their complexity, may require a dose increase and always under medical criteria. It is recommended not to exceed 7 days of treatment.

No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with liver or kidney failure. Although no dose changes are expected, caution should be exercised in patients with impaired renal function.

Use in children

The safety and efficacy of rifaximin have not been established in children under 12 years of age. No dosage recommendation can be made.
